546. The clerk or the secretary-treasurer may draw up a list of the qualified voters entitled to have their names entered on the referendum list from any referendum list, list of electors, real estate assessment roll, roll of rental values, collection roll or other document he considers appropriate.
For this purpose, the clerk or the secretary-treasurer may request, in writing, that the chief electoral officer transmit to him a list of the electors whose names are entered on the permanent list of electors for the territory of the municipality or for the sector concerned.
The request must be made in the manner determined by the chief electoral officer. It must specify the date of reference, describe the territory concerned and state the date on which and form in which the list must be transmitted.
The chief electoral officer shall transmit the list requested not later than the date indicated in the request.
The costs relating to the production of the list, established under section 549 of the Election Act (chapter E-3.3), shall be charged to the municipality.
A person whose name is not entered on any of the documents contemplated in the first or second paragraph may be allowed to make his entries in the register if he proves to the person in charge of the register that he is a qualified voter entitled to have his name entered on the referendum list of the municipality or, as the case may be, of the sector concerned and meets the requirements set out in the first paragraph of section 523.
